<![CDATA[Who is Taslima Nasren?]]>Pece all,

I hear a lot about this woman, Taslima Nasren who is from Bangladesh and is now living in Sweden, France, UK and studying at Harvard in US.

I did a google search on her and all I could find was that she is a bangladeshi living in exile because there is a fatwa against her, she is an "islamic rebel" and studying at Harvard. The latest bit of info is that she is planning to product / direct a bollywood movie.

Who is she? Is she against Islam as in against Quran and God or against Islam as in the customes/tradiations and abuses against Muslim women in Asian and Arab countries as her books claim?

yes she is a Bangladeshi living in exile because of religious fatwa. She wrote some book and kinda bashed traditional islam for oppressing woman. She is more like a humanist. Her books became more controvirtial because she brought out many facts of her life and experiences in to public which kinda disturbed the so called scholars and also religious fanatics. Her writings are mostly based on real llife experiences of many oppressed women back home.

Actualy the general ppl are not much bothered about it as the fanatics had made it a big issue and threatened to kill her.

peace

peace

I actually never hear dof her until you started this thread. I only did a search and found that sight. I read that part that I highlighted and don't know any more than just that. I suspect the website has more info, but it appears you are correct, that she is NOT anti-God or anything like that, only anti oppression against women.

Her first book - of poetry - was published in 1986. Her second became a huge success in 1989, and editors of progressive daily and weekly newspapers suggested that she write regular columns. Next she started writing about women's oppression. With no hesitation she criticized religion, traditions, and the oppressive cultures and customs that discriminate against women. Her strong language and uncompromising attitude against male domination stirred many people, eliciting both love and hatred from her readers.
